Hero Mode is a single-player game mode in Splatoon. It involves the player donning the Hero Suit and venturing into Octo Valley to rescue Inkopolis' stolen Zapfish and defeat the Octarian menace.
Story
After the Great Zapfish, Inkopolis' primary power supply, is stolen, Cap'n Cuttlefish employs a Splatoon of Inklings to travel to the Octarians' secret underground base and retrieve it. Players assume the role of Agent 3 and traverse the treacherous landscape of Octo Valley in order to reclaim various lost Zapfish, Sunken Scrolls, and Power Eggs.
Gameplay
Hero Mode incorporates various puzzle mechanics and 3D-platforming elements. Gameplay has been compared to Turf War and Super Mario Galaxy, in the sense that it sees players splattering Ink to defeat enemies, transforming into squids, and traversing floating platforms. Players' only available weapon in Hero Mode is the Hero Shot, a modified version of the Splattershot. Many areas of Octo Valley are blocked by Vaults, and are only accessible once players have retrieved a Key.
Mechanics

Equipment
In Hero Mode, players don the Hero Suit and are equipped with a variety of weapons.
Hero Suit
The Hero Suit is a special outfit worn by Agent 3 and other members of Cap'n Cuttlefish's Splatoon. It appears to be largely gray with blue highlights and triangular-shaped earpieces. Many of the Hero Suit's specific functions are unknown.
Hero Shot
The Hero Shot is a modified version of the Splattershot, usable only in Hero Mode. It is able to be upgraded by spending Power Eggs.
Ink Tank
The Ink Tank holds Inklings' Ink content. It is depleted by using weapons and can be replenished by swimming in Ink of Inklings' color. The Ink Tank is able to be upgraded by spending Power Eggs.
Splat Bomb
Splat Bombs in Hero Mode behaves very similarly to the Splat Bombs found elsewhere in Inkopolis. They are pyramidal in shape with four transparent faces. Like the Hero Suit, they adopt a gray and light blue color scheme. When thrown, Splat Bombs explode after a short amount of time. This weapon is able to be upgraded by spending Power Eggs.
Burst Bomb
Burst Bombs in Hero Mode behaves very similarly to the Burst Bombs found elsewhere in Inkopolis. They are shaped like water balloons, and, like the Hero Suit, adopt a gray and light blue color scheme. When thrown, Burst Bombs explode immediately upon contact. This weapon is able to be upgraded by spending Power Eggs.
Seekers
Seekers in Hero Mode behave very similarly to the Seekers found elsewhere in Inkopolis. They appear to be small, mechanical devices that travel on the ground toward nearby enemies, leaving trails of Ink in their wake. Upon reaching an enemy or after traveling for a short period of time, they explode into a burst of Ink. Seekers are able to be upgraded by spending Power Eggs.
Armor
Armor can be found throughout Hero Mode. When wearing it, Inklings appear to be wearing a helmet and safety pads, and are able to take extra damage without getting hurt.
Special Weapons
Special Weapons can be found throughout Hero Mode in Tuna Cans. Upon collecting a Tuna Can, a random Special Weapon is selected for immediate use.
Collectibles
Many types of collectibles can be found in Hero Mode.
Power Eggs
Power Eggs appear to be small, orange fish eggs that can be found throughout Hero Mode. They can be collected by killing enemies, destroying crates, and shooting or running near individual ones scattered around the environment.
Sunken Scrolls
Sunken Scrolls are rolled up pieces of paper that can be found in Hero Mode. They are long-lost drawings and other pieces of information that depict the history and lore of Inkopolis. One Sunken Scroll can be found in each level of Hero Mode.
